We get an interesting message related to one of the most outstanding games on the mobile market. We are talking in this case about Pikmin Bloom.
In the text that we leave you below, we can know the details of the new sushi event Confirmed for this April. These are special decorations available in real-world places where sushi is sold.
This month the new Pikmin dressed as sushi have arrived! You can find them near sushi restaurants. This delicacy is typical of Japanese cuisine, but today it is enjoyed by countless people around the world.
They say that the “nigiri” variety of sushi became popular in Japan during the Edo period. Have you ever wondered if the sushi of that time would be different? Or how will it have changed over the years? Check out these fun facts to find out!
Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have a much better time meeting the Pikmin dressed as sushi!
1. The sushi was three times bigger?!
They say that the “nigiri” variety of sushi was invented in Japan during the second half of the Edo period, at the beginning of the 19th century.
Back then, it was a trendy fast food sold at street stalls, along with tempura and soba noodles. It was made mainly from what could be caught in Edo Bay (today’s Tokyo Bay), such as shrimp, eels, and squid. In addition, the sushi of that time was much larger, up to two or three times larger than today!
2. Not all sushi comes from Japan!
Although it was invented in Japan, sushi has become very popular all over the world. This has led to the emergence of varieties in other countries, such as the California “maki”, which contains avocado, or the “spider”, which is made with soft crab. In some places, they even serve fruit sushi, with strawberry, mango and much more.
3. Becoming a sushi chef can take a decade
Becoming a professional sushi chef is not easy at all. Known as “itamae” in Japan, these professionals must not only know how to make sushi, but their job also includes entertaining diners and even calculating the full bill at the end of a meal.
Mastering the art of serving beautiful portions of “nigiri” sushi isn’t just about putting rice, seaweed, and fish together; every step of the process is important. This is often reflected in the type of training sushi chefs receive, often starting at the bottom of the ladder and working their way up through years and years of practice.
4. Green tea, soy sauce, ginger and other products have special names that are only used in sushi restaurants
If you go to a sushi restaurant, suddenly the rice will be called “shari”, the green tea will be “agari”, the soy sauce will be called “murasaki” and the ginger will become “gari”. These are not the usual names for these products in Japanese; Even natives can get into trouble!
For example, “murasaki” in Japanese usually refers to the color purple. Long ago, soy sauce had a dark reddish color, and it was also quite expensive, so they started calling it “murasaki” because purple is associated with nobility or upper class.
5. Wasabi isn’t just to make your whole mouth itchy!
No sushi would be complete without wasabi. Although many like it simply for its spicy flavor, it also serves to cover the smell of fish. It is also said to have antibacterial effects to ensure the fish is clean.
Most people are familiar with wasabi, but what many don’t realize is that there are actually two different types. One is the one we associate with sushi, which is made from a Japanese plant, but there is also a Western variant that is usually made with horseradish. Both plants are part of the Brassicaceae family, although they are quite different from each other. the wasabi plant is dark green in color and is often used for sushi, while horseradish wasabi is white and is sometimes eaten with roast beef. Taking small amounts of either produces that characteristic itchy nose.
You have learned something? Almost everyone knows what sushi is, but the subject has much more crumb than it may seem. The next time you go to a sushi restaurant, take a look at the list of expeditions; maybe you will find seedlings with a distinctive icon of the place!
